They could have been non-Muslim pranksters. They could have been Muslim migrants, hoping to “strike terror in the enemy of Allah,” as the Qur’an directs (8:60).
“‘Allah Akbar’ this morning screamed in a church in Digoin, Saone-et-Loire,” translated from “‘Allah Akbar’ hurlé ce matin une église de Digoin, en Saône-et-Loire,” L’Observatoire de la Christianophobie, June 10, 2018 (thanks to David):
From a source that I am assured is firsthand, I am informed that two young people at 10:40AM shouted “Allah Akbar” this morning in the church of Our Lady of Providence (Saint-Antoine Parish) of Digoin (Saône-et-Loire), shortly before the start of the Mass celebrated at 11 am. (thank you Mr. J. for this report).
Niemoller says
Shouting “allahu akbar!” in public is no different than falsely shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater. It should be treated as a criminal offense. It certainly has nothing to do with free speech, which is a critical right for the free transmission of ideas between citizens, not a vocal emanation just prior to mass murder.
Jayell says
This is now starting to become predictable and tedious. It would almost be farcical if these jokers hadn’t previously included physical assault, murder and criminal damage to their increasing litany of dramatic contributions to church worship and one wonders what would happen if someone from another community decided to make a corresponding contribution to proceedings in a mosque on a Friday evening. We certainly know what happens if you happen to offend their delicate sensibilities by depositing a piece of bacon outside one of their ‘places of worship’. Maybe no one else is allowed ‘delicste sensibilities’.

It would have been a very frightening experience for the congregation even if it was a prank.

Frankly, I don’t think such an act can be of pranksters in the current climate. “Allahu akbar” is indelibly connected with murder and violence for anyone who can see or hear, it’s tantamount to screaming, “you’re all dead!” The whole world knows muslims hail their demon as they’re killing innocents, the natural and normal reaction would be to feel terror. It may literally mean “allah is greatest,” but to non-muslims it means “duck and cover.” In my mind they are almost like “fighting words,” a slightly veiled threat that says, “my god is greater and I’ll kill you if you don’t agree.” For 1400 years muslims have been saying that, millions have died and suffered for their bigotry. Anyone who yells that shit in public is threatening the people around them, in my mind. They are trying to terrorize others knowing full well the fearful response it will elicit in others. Now, it didn’t have to be this way, it could have been a legitimate, peaceful expression about their own god. But unsurprisingly, muslims turned a godly expression into a murderous exclamation of terror and murder. I’m so shocked.

Coming right after the Holy Month of Ramadan, this is no surprise. After all, they are steeped in their religion after 30 days of fasting and prayer, and are only trying to practice their religion the best way they know how: by instilling fear in the hearts of non-believers.
mortimer says
At the end of Ramadan, Muslims are expected to do a ‘good deed’. So what deed is better than actual JIHAD?
JIHAD means ‘struggle against the kafirs to make Islam supreme’ as a political ideology. These pranksters have accomplished their goal of CASTING TERROR INTO THE HEARTS of DISBELIEVING KUFAAR.
Churches should have an armed person with a license sitting near the door to interdict jihadists when they show up. Soon congregations in France and Germany will experience an increase in jihad attacks as numbers of Muslims increase.
European governments have only one way to stop jihad and that is to use ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING… an intellectual approach of debunking all Islamic beliefs.
Eur says
The Moroccan Muslims know perfectly well that they generate fear among the European population. They generate fear, rejection and disgust and they have earned it.
Indiana Tom says
Well, at least it woke everybody up.

If in the States, one yells “fire” in a crowded theater…if it is a prank…if there is no fire…it is a chargeable offense.
If the infamous phrase moslims shout to cause fear in the hearts of those who hear it…wherever they are…should be a chargeable offense. And any violent action after or during the shouting, should be punishable by the harshest penalties available where the charges would be filed. Prank or not.

THEY MEANT TO SAY YAHUWAH AKBA, = YHWH IS GREATEST ,

More and more, as a European living in a continent inundated with muslims, I feel like we old Europeans are regressing back … to being in the food chain again. Leave your dwelling? You’ll be attacked … by islam! For thousands of years it was bears, cheetahs and wolves. Then we evolved and got some respite. We stepped *out* of the food chain.
Now, we are back in it. Everywhere there is predatory muslims. “Watch out! Jihadids on your left! Run!!!”. “Damn, another blood thirsty muslim set on killing us”. “Don’t go to the city centre today, dangerous muslims lurking” – that is what we hear.

I remember over a year ago when they were settling some refugees in small towns in Germany with very low populations. A girl got raped in broad daylight, people didn’t feel safe going no out at night, and business was hurting. I recall also that some of the refugees burst into the church during the service.
I recall a couple of Iraqis did similar in Ireland. This is very old behavior. Have Muslims acknowledged or spoken out about all the refugee crimes, rapes, these types of things, bursting into churches and being obnoxious? It can’t be compared to typical homegrown crime in that you expect immigrants would be on better behavior and if they claim victimhood then they should acknowledge and admit that they greatly contribute to their image.
That also goes for Muslims on British streets holding signs or typically yelling about no democracy, sharia law, and anything they typically protest or riot about. That doesn’t go over well with people who have freedoms rather than the Islamic yoke around Muslims’ necks. I don’t think they can pretend their some kind of particular victims, especially in Europe.
It appears to be more about them rather than THEY learning about everyone else rather than the dumb “outreaching” to Christian churches or inviting people to mosques and handing out Islamic pamphlets at street festivals. A lot of proselytizing (da’wa) going on.
I think people are becoming Islamonauseas. No other immigrants like this nor given such attention. Not too long from now people won’t even want to visit Europe. Who wants to see mosques in London? Only self-centered people that like ruining cultures while wanting to maintain their own. Do Muslims want to make everyone miserable in the 21st century? With slavery still going on in Africa thanks to imams justifying it because of Islam, I guess they do.

Europe, send them to a country that is more compatible with them.
They are telling you they don’t care. They will kill you guys.
